You are indeed the Boss Flo. How I laughed when I read about your scent marking – you really are superb 
I have started school Started last Monday night, was happily waiting outside a building when various other dogs started to arrive. I must say I felt a bit worried and managed to crouch down a bit, tail between legs because I wasn’t sure what was happening. Thought I might be heading back to a pound 
Anyway, we had to wait until about 100 puppies came out of the building (well, about 8 or 9 puppies), then we were all taken in. My worry was so great that I forgot all about the smooth floor we had to walk on 
There was a nice carpet in the hall we went in to. Met both trainers as they came round to meet us all individually and to check our vaccination cards 
Didn’t have to walk round the hall during the class because we are there to learn good manners. The exercises we were given were; FOCUS, SITTING ON BEING ASKED and CONTINUING TO SIT WHILE OUR PEOPLE PUT A SMALL DISH CONTAINING ONE OF OUR TREATS ON THE FLOOR AND NOT STANDING UP OR EATING THE TREAT UNTIL WE WERE INVITED TO DO SO, oddly enough, that was the thing I found most difficult to do and MEETING NEW PEOPLE WITHOUT JUMPING UP ON THEM. The trainers made it clear that there will be no forcing us to do anything and reminded the humans that we all had our place on earth and we must be treated with respect and kindness because that was the most effective way of teaching us what we need to know to live happily with our families. They said pulling dogs around, shouting at them and forcing them into position was basically abuse. I got loads of cooked chicken to eat and really rather enjoyed the time I was there, wagged my tail a lot . We have another 5 weeks of this ‘course’ and the next one is doing the basics of things like ‘nose work’ and learning tricks for things like heel work to music so I think we are going to that. I can use my nose and do so every day. It will be teaching the creature what she needs to do 
Wonder if she will get chocolate if she gets it right? Who knows but I will keep you all informed I was very pleased to see Nellie and Dudley when we got home Two years is a very long time to wait to be shown some kindness but that time has finally come
. Enjoy, enjoy and enjoy again every second of your new life Following Yes indeed, one ear up and one ear down and a beautiful tail into the bargain
I hope you will enjoy wearing your up and coming bonnet , just imagine it is covered in pretty flowers which will enhance your own natural beauty even more. Thank you for posing for your new images and thank your foster family for enabling me to tick off one of my wishes 
Following Hey ho Flo, great to hear from you. I bet you looked like a HUGE dog to the mutt who barked at your little friend, won’t do that again. SUPER-FLO running to help a friend, you are a super-cool hero Look at you in your lovely red coat. Your foster person clearly adores you and I suspect the feeling is mutual Dear Cara (pretty Cara) please beg your great foster family to let us see a happier image of you. I know they will be busy caring for you and your foster siblings, but it would make one of my wishes come true
Fingers crossed Not looking too upset post-surgery – great! What a smart little fellow you are and it’s great to hear from you
